Congress is pathetic
There was a lot of bellyaching about Trump not going to Congress to seek authorization to attack Iran. But they would have given it to him. He knows they're no obstacle. He'll do whatever he wants. They'll bellyache, and that's music to his ears. They won't rein him in.
They don't listen to Nancy any more.
Primary challenges better be coming.
Thar she blows!
Noem is out.
Foghorn Leghorn for the kill.
Snuck up on her.
He said he didn't have any problem with her giving huge no-bid contracts to the husband of her assistant secretary. She said Trump knew all about it. [“He said, ‘I want the first ad, I want you to thank me. I want you to
thank me for closing the border.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir. I will thank you
for closing the border,’” she said at the time.] Trump called Kennedy after the hearing to say he didn't sign off on the Kristi Noem fancy pants in a cowboy hat ad campaign. They're both liars, so who knows how it went down? But you know he had no qualms throwing her under the bus.
Glad to be rid of ICE Barbie. And her ads and photo cosplaying photo ops.
Does this mean Corey Lewandowski is also out of a job?
Also...remember the pilot that got fired because of leaving Noem's blanket behind (and WTF?). It wasn't her blanket.
Apparently it was a bag.
Remember when she claimed a bag with $3,000 was stolen from her in a restaurant?
Sketchy.
Good riddance. I wouldn't expect DHS to be any better, though. Markwayne Mullin is taking her place.
Still, it's a good start. Now do RFK Jr, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. Then we can work on a longer list.
UPDATE 04:52 pm:
There will be plenty other cowards and suckups, John. Thanks for rushing out to be the first.
UPDATE 05:49 pm: Next! For god's sake, NEXT!

War on Iran, day 5
Trump to reporters yesterday:
Jesus wept.“The worst case would be we do this and then somebody takes over who’s as bad as the previous person, right? That could happen. We don’t want that to happen,” he said. “You go through this and in five years you realize you put somebody in who is no better.”
[...]
“Most of the people we had in mind are dead,” he said. Now, we have another group. They may be dead also, based on reports. So I guess you have a third wave coming in. Pretty sure we’re not going to know anybody.”
Salon
One day they''ll go too far even for MAGA
You might well have thought he already has, but you'd be wrong.
Iran wasn't enough for them
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Nixon in Cambodia.The United States and Ecuador have launched joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations” in the South American country, the Pentagon said on Tuesday night, in what appeared to be a major expansion of the U.S. military’s unilateral strikes against boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific that the Trump administration has accused of carrying drugs.
U.S. Special Forces soldiers are advising and supporting Ecuadorean commandos on raids across the country against suspected drug shipment facilities and other drug-related sites.
[...]
The Americans are not believed to be participating in the actual raids, but are helping the Ecuadorean troops plan their operations, and are providing intelligence and logistics support.

So, just general chaos and bloodletting. Adds to the end of the world scenario being acted out by Christian nationalist zealots.In a 30-second video released by the military’s Southern Command, a helicopter is seen taking off in early morning or dusk, flying over an area, then picking up soldiers. The U.S. official said the video depicted the first in what was expected to be a series of raids across the country, some with U.S. advisers assisting nearby, some with Ecuadorean forces only. In this instance, involving mostly Ecuadorean forces, the official said, it was unclear what the mission’s objective was or whether it was successful.
